Chapter 16 - Protagonist?!

For the next few hours, Su Mo and Yang Qingxi started reading the information while also comparing it with the original story.

According to the original story, in the chapter of the tomb. The hatred between Ye Chen and the Gu family was irreconcilable. 

Gu Xuan was killed by him, and he also soiled Gu Xuan's sister's innocence.

In his hatred, Gu Xuan's father, Gu Yiming, used his connections and called upon a Qi Condensation expert to deal with Ye Chen.

The Qi Condensation expert, along with a team of gunmen, began hunting Ye Chen.

To make their plan foolproof and not be obstructed by the authorities. They fooled Ye Chen into going to the Stone Spring Mountains so that they could kill him with full force.

By the time Ye Chen realised that something was wrong. He had already fallen into the trap set by the Gu Family.

He was left with no way to contact anyone and call for reinforcements. No matter how strong he was at the Peak of the Body Refining Stage. In front of a Qi Condensation expert and a dozen gunmen, he was not a match.

He was beaten badly and was about to be killed. In his desperate resistance, he jumped off the cliff, which was the Ghost Valley of the Stone Spring Mountains.

Ye Chen thought he would die, but out of luck, he fell into a robbery hole made by a tomb robber and was saved by that tomb robber.

Later, when Ye Chen recovered, he accompanied the Tomb Robber on a raid to the tomb and successfully obtained the Qi cultivation technique and a powerful movement technique.

After he entered the Qi Condensation Stage, he made a comeback. Killed all the attackers, and took revenge on the Gu Family until they fell into his hands. Gu Xuan's sister became his plaything, and later in the story, her personality became distorted and broken.

*Sigh*

"Another girl who was harmed by Ye Chen." Su Mo shook his head with regret.

Yang Qingxi has read the entire novel several times so as not to miss any details. However, every time she reads it, her disgust towards Ye Chen increases. 

"I don't understand why a person like Ye Chen would be a protagonist?"

"That's where you are wrong." Su Mo denied her statement.

"Huh? What do you mean? Do you believe a disgusting person like Ye Chen should be a protagonist?" Yang Qingxi narrowed her eyes and gave Su Mo a sharp look. 

With her understanding of Su Mo, she couldn't believe that he would disagree with her on this. 

"No, I don't mean that." Su Mo shook his head and explained. "A protagonist can't be distinguished by good and evil. He is just a person with high luck, protected by the world until he completely plays his role. So, the term protagonist can't be associated with the word 'Hero', and the villain may not necessarily be a bad guy. He is a villain just because he stands on the opposite side of the protagonist."

His words made Yang Qingxi's eyes brighten. According to her system's rules and the function of plundering the protagonist's luck. She believed his statement 80%. 

However, she still asked for confirmation.

"This is not just your guess, right? Or something you made up?"

"Nope, this is part of the basic knowledge I received from the system when I transmigrated here."

"I see." Now, Yang Qingxi was completely certain. "By the way, I never got the chance to ask about it. What exactly is your system? Of course, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

She told Su Mo about her system because she needed his help to make the best use of her system.

Even if he refrains from telling her, she is okay with it. 

To her surprise, Su Mo acted like it was no big deal and told her about his system. 

"There's nothing to hide from you. It's just a Check-In System. I check in every day and get rewards."

Yang Qingxi's mouth was opened wide as she asked in disbelief.

"That's it?"

"Well, there's also a system store. I can purchase things using points I get from checking in daily." Su Mo felt that Yang Qingxi might be disappointed by the simplicity of his system, so he further explained.

"No, that's not what I mean." Yang Qingxi shook her head like a rattle. "Does your system only need you to check in every day? Not like going to a specific place? Or like completing a task before you could check in?"

"Um, no. My system is very user-friendly. It doesn't require me to do anything." Su Mo answered honestly. "It just asks for my little attention."

Yang Qingxi felt her mentality was broken. Without actual comparison, there's no harm. 

'Is this the difference between the treatment of a protagonist and a villainess?'

'He can get stronger by lying down, and I need to struggle with my life. Just why?!'

She choked back the urge to cry in envy and showed a stiff smile.

"Your system is pretty good. Very suitable for you." When she said that, she also complained in her heart. 'Yeah, a perfect match for this lazy as$.'

Su Mo wasn't very happy with Yang Qingxi's praise. Because after the third day of the novice reward. Just as he expected, the value of rewards lowered a lot. 

"Let's not talk about this, Miss Yang. Since we are leaving tomorrow. Please make the arrangements, as we discussed."

"No need to worry about this. You just focus on protecting me." 

Su Mo patted his chest and assured. "Leave that to me. These few days, I have been working hard to improve my strength."

Upon hearing this, Yang Qingxi rolled her eyes.

'If Sister Zhang hadn't told me, I would have been fooled by your serious look.'

She guessed that Su Mo's system might have rewarded him. So, she took a peek at Su Mo's panel and was surprised.
